Balancing field "Profit Center" not filled with Dummy Commitment

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

During Vendor invoice posting (FB60) in FI, system is issuing the error as

Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled

Message no. GLT2201

Here entry is :   Interest Account Dr. (Commitment item entered )

                             Vendor Account Cr. (Dummy Commitment item entered for Reconciliation Account)

Budget consumption is required only for expenses G/L, so we assigned a dummy for Reconciliation Account, but if I enter a Normal Commitment item for

Reconciliation Account (Other than Dummy) then there is no error during invoice posting

Please suggest how to resolve this error, we requires no budget consumption for Reconciliation Account

Hi,

What is the financial transaction of your DUMMY commitment? For Vendors it should be '60'.

You have to review your split settings then... Check the counterpart account in order to verify that it's define in the right category. Which splt scenario are you using?

Split scenario is Profit Center wise.

Dear Eli,

After removing the Fund and Commitment item from the following configuration.. it is working fine

IMG: Financial accounting (New)- General ledger accounting (new) - business transactions - document splitting - Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting

After this I have simulated some scenarios related to FM.. it is working fine

Kindly suggest can we do the above config changes?

Depends on your business requirements: whether you need this split or not. Also, if you are using online payment update, then these charateristics are indispensable.
